Little Miss Sunshine

Liv's current obsession: her new swimsuits!  Nana & Papa bought her a pink surfer girl one & Daddy has always wanted her to have a yellow polka dot bikini.  She literally went for 2 days alternating which suit she was wearing...I had to finally hide them...literally! :)





(Nana said she would help alter the bottoms & tighten them up a bit! :))

Fun Billings Weekend

We headed to Billings last weekend to help Jane celebrate her 6th birthday!  It was so much fun to go to her bowling party & spend her special weekend with her.  She is such a sweet girl & we love her very much!









{yes, I did have to ask her little buddy about his Griz jersey...he assured me he was a Bobcat fan & was just wearing it that day...:) }




The ball was just about bigger than her!





Yes, this really reminded me of Molly Shannon from SNL...had to post it.

Grammy & Grampy joined us for a pizza party later!


The big kids got to go skiing with the dads on Saturday at Red Lodge.  It was the first time they had skied together and they had so much fun!!  Brady told me he really wanted to beat Jane down the mountain but I don't think that happened! :) They are such good little buddies.




I made such a big deal out of how cool his harness was because it looked like the expert skiers with their backpacks that even though he doesn't need the harness anymore, he still likes to wear it! :)


Livvy, Lez and I had a fantastic Girls Day in Billings!  Complete with a coffee shop/hot chocolate stop, shopping & lunch!  She loved all the attention & she & Lez became even closer little buddies from the quality time!

Ski Day!

Here are a couple videos of Brady skiing without his harness! :)  Nana & Papa took Brady & his mama up to ski at Big Sky a couple weeks ago (Jeff and Liv had a fun Daddy/Livvy day at home swimming & going to lunch!)  It was just so much fun to watch the major strides he makes every time he skis & it was even better to see how much he truly ENJOYS it!  Melted our hearts to watch & I loved every minute sharing my favorite thing with my little boy.  I swear I skied backwards probably 80% of the time just so I could take it all in!  

As it was really starting to click he literally said to me "Mama I am just so happy about myself!"  and later as we're skiing side by side "I am never gonna stop skiing...it's so fun!" :)  Love that he's building confidence & having fun...can't wait to get little Liv up there hopefully later this winter!





Lessons Learned At Grammy & Grampy's



Our Nebraska Family is sure to love this!!  Brady & Liv spent a few days with Grammy & Grampy in Cody while Jeff & I were in Scottsdale & they had such a  blast.  We totally appreciate them taking the kids while we're gone & the kids love every minute with them!!


GO BIG RED!
